    seems the answer was already here 🙂

    Might mean in chinese "Beginning (始) of Zhou (周) Dynasty" Tho would mean that's a really old guard
  3. Manuel Coden
    It was up for sale before, it's in good conditions and from the same maker, hard to tell if was born as daisho but it's a nice set nonetheless
  4. Manuel Coden
    Maybe they were shipped to Osaka freshly made and got damaged in the trip Seems that school only worked on iron
  5. Manuel Coden
    Yes, there's another one as well from same school but both have some corrosion problem unfortunately. Seems that saying about corrosion is real
  6. Manuel Coden
    Thank you, i read somewhere these are quite prone to corrosion, so it's always good to find a well preserved one
  7. Manuel Coden
    Indeed it is, in hand is even better cause you can appreciate the precision and depth of the engraving even more

    I saw those as well, the Bonhams one someone made a great score. The second one is badly corroded, last kanji is hardly readable so they made a guess i think, but to me should be the late Edo Tomohisa (same as the published one in my article)
  9. Manuel Coden
    Thank you Dale, i actually know those but i deliberately excluded cause not signed. Actually i have other signed examples but since the workmanship and subject are the same i thought no need to include those.

    Recently i made a research on the subject depicted on the following tsuba made by Yaji Tomoyuki (八道友之) that i currently own, since i thought it was quite interesting what i found i made an article about it. Feel free to download it and i'd be happy to hear your thoughts about it. Chōshū Yaji research.pdf

    Bishu Osafune ju Sukesada Tenbun 21 a day in the 8th month
  12. Manuel Coden
    My guess seeing the oxidation and the construction is that probably comes from a statue
  13. Manuel Coden
    Interesting concept and execution, among fittings i saw only menuki depicting tsuba before
  14. Manuel Coden
    Because that writing is just the cursive for the same kanji

    Is been done before, read "episode 11"

    Ichi Tomonari gojūroku-daison Bizen Osafune-shi – Yokoyama Kaga no Suke Fujiwara Sukenaga saku (一友成五十六代孫備前長船士・横山加賀介藤原祐永作)

    I have some extra i can share and since i'm in the EU you won't have customs fees
  19. Manuel Coden
    More than Gassan this looks more like Shitahara, also nakago shape would fit
  20. Manuel Coden
    i read 一風子 (Ippushi? child of Ippu?) can't find any artist with that name, the only similar is 一風 "Ippu"
  21. Manuel Coden
    It doesn't say anything about Soshu or Masamune anywhere, on the hakogaki it actually says "Awataguchi" 粟田口
  22. Manuel Coden
    From the research i did online for a name with those specific kanji they all turn out as Yoshimasa, so i'm quite confident that would be it
  23. Manuel Coden
    The most likely pronunciation of 祥正 i think would be "Yoshimasa"

    I do use Wise, very convenient and fast also to transfer money to Japan. A suggestion when sending money to Japan, ask for kanji/katakana account name or it can cause problems for transfer. i leave you my link so you can have a free transfer up to 500€ (and i can get some cashback ) https://wise.com/invite/u/manuelc927

    looks like 需應佐々木重輔 which should mean "on request of Sasaki Shigesuke (or Jusuke)" Seems he liked his swords being custom made https://jref.com/threads/request-for-help-translating-kanji.251744/ https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/33601-help-needed-with-mei/
